October 5th: The Most Popular Birth Date

Today, October 5^th, is the most common birth date in the United States. More people celebrate their birthday on this date than any other during the year.

On any given day about 750,000 Americans celebrate their birthday, but today, more than 960,000 will celebrate their special day.

The reason October 5^th is such a popular birthdate because the length of the average pregnancy is 274 days which would make the day of conception New Year’s Eve.

The ‘least’ common date for birthday’s is May 22^nd although there is no explanation as to why.
